There’s a humming wind on the east coast of Aruba; a solitary kite surfer floats above the surface of the water and as the jeep pulls up onto to the sand you look around and he’s the only other person you see for miles. 

Boca Grandi is the kind of exotic, less-traveled beach we all fantasize about — and this unsung Aruba beach is the latest to make the top of our list of Beaches to Dream About. 

Because the latest edition of Beaches to Dream About feature is back again, with a look at five sought-after, magical, special beaches we’d love to be lazing on right now. 

Of course, Boca Grandi is just one type of beach; right now, we’re daydreaming about all manner of beach, from hard-to-reach jewels to fun-filled beach bar capitals.  

So here are five beaches to dream about right now, from Eleuthera to Aruba, from buzzing party spots like Orient Bay in St Martin to ultra-secluded bucket-lists stops in The Bahamas. 

Because there’s a beach for every kind of dream.
